VO2max & Haemodynamic Profile of Woman Boxers

Woman boxers of national and interuniversity level participation of Punjabi University Patiala volunteered to participate in this study and their age ranged 18 to 23 years. The standard procedure was used to observe VO2max and haemodynamic variables. The mean age, height, weight and BMI of woman boxers were 20.18±1.66 years, 162.04±5.45 cms. 60.18±10.21 Kg and 23.25±3.31 respectively. The resting VO2 max, Heart Rate, Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Pulse Pressure, Mean Arterial Pressure, Rate Pressure Product, Stroke Volume and Cardiac Output was 44.45±3.26 ml.kg-1.min-1, 67.00±5.15 beats/minute, 114.91±5.24 mmHg, 77.27±5.53 mmHg, 37.64±1.96 mmHg, 89.55±5.39 mmHg, 76.85±9.15 beats.min-1.mmHg, 54.93±4.34 ml/beat and 3.60±0.23 L/minute respectively. It was concluded from the results that women boxers of this study have less mean value of VO2max (aerobic fitness) and haemodynamic variables than reported of elite national and international boxers.
